Президентская награда (США)

Президентская награда подразделения ( PUC ), первоначально называвшаяся наградой Distinguished Unit Citation , вручается подразделениям униформы Соединенных Штатов и стран-союзников за исключительный героизм в бою против вооруженного врага 7 декабря 1941 года или позже (дата нападения на Перл-Харбор и начала участия Америки во Второй мировой войне ). Подразделение должно продемонстрировать такую ​​храбрость, решимость и корпоративный дух при выполнении своей миссии в чрезвычайно трудных и опасных условиях, чтобы выделиться среди других подразделений, участвующих в той же кампании.

С момента своего учреждения президентом Франклином Д. Рузвельтом с подписанием указа 9075 от 26 февраля 1942 года, имеющего обратную силу с 7 декабря 1941 года, по 2008 год Президентская награда вручалась в таких конфликтах, как Вторая мировая война, Корейская война , Вьетнамская война , война в Ираке и война в Афганистане .

Коллективная степень доблести (боевого героизма) против вооруженного врага подразделением, номинированным на PUC, такая же, как и та, которая оправдывает награждение индивидуальной наградой Креста за выдающиеся заслуги , Креста ВВС или Военно-морского креста . В некоторых случаях один или несколько человек в подразделении могли также быть награждены индивидуальными наградами за их вклад в действия, за которые все их подразделение было награждено Президентской грамотой подразделения. Подразделениями с наибольшим количеством Президентских грамот подразделения являются подводная лодка USS  Parche  (SSN-683) и 1-я дивизия морской пехоты , обе с девятью грамотами. [6]

Создание и официальный формат

Армия, Военно-воздушные силы и Космические силы

Армейская награда была учреждена указом президента 9075 от 26 февраля 1942 года, замененным указом президента 9396 от 2 декабря 1943 года, который санкционировал награду «За выдающиеся заслуги в бою» . [7] [8] Как и в случае с другими наградами армейских подразделений, PUC находится в большей рамке, чем другие ленты, и носится над правым карманом. Все члены подразделения могут носить награду, независимо от того, участвовали ли они лично в действиях, за которые подразделение было отмечено; только те члены, которые были назначены в подразделение во время отмеченного действия, могут носить награду как постоянную награду. Для армии, военно-воздушных сил и космических сил эмблема представляет собой сплошную синюю ленту, заключенную в золотую рамку .

Награда PUC Воздушных и космических сил была принята из награды «За выдающиеся заслуги» Армии после того, как ВВС стали отдельным родом войск в 1947 году. Указом президента 10694 от 10 января 1957 года Министерство ВВС переименовало награду «За выдающиеся заслуги» в «За выдающиеся заслуги» Президентской награды. [9] Награда PUC Воздушных и космических сил имеет тот же цвет и дизайн, что и армейская награда PUC, но немного меньше, так что ее можно носить вместе с другими лентами ВВС и Космических сил на левом кармане после личных наград. Как и в армии, все члены получающего подразделения могут носить награду, пока они приписаны к нему, но только те, кто был приписан к подразделению во время упомянутого действия, могут носить награду как постоянную награду; или если какой-либо член получающего подразделения имел ее на своем последнем месте службы перед увольнением или выходом на пенсию, они могут продолжать носить награду, как предписано.

Благодарность размещается на флаге получающего подразделения в виде синей ленты длиной 4 фута (1,2 м) и шириной 2,75 дюйма (7,0 см). В армии только в редких случаях подразделение, большее, чем батальон, может претендовать на эту награду. [8]

Вымпел и лента Президентского подразделения ВМС, врученные в 1944 году оперативной группе 22.3 .

Военно-морской флот и корпус морской пехоты

Благодарности «за выдающиеся боевые заслуги в подразделениях Военно-морского флота и Корпуса морской пехоты» были учреждены Указом президента № 9050 от 6 февраля 1942 года.

Версия ВМС имеет темно-синие, желтые и красные горизонтальные полосы и является единственной лентой ВМС с горизонтальными полосами. [10] Чтобы различать две версии Президентской грамоты подразделения, версия ВМС, которая чаще упоминается просто как Президентская грамота подразделения, упоминается как Президентская грамота подразделения ВМС, а иногда как «Президентская грамота подразделения ВМС и Корпуса морской пехоты». Ленту носят только те военнослужащие ВМС и Корпуса морской пехоты, которые были назначены в подразделение на «период награждения» награды. В армии те, кто присоединяется к подразделению после «периода награждения», также могут носить ее во время назначения в подразделение. ALNan 137–43 гласит, что первая награда имеет синюю эмалированную звезду на ленте и дополнительные звезды для последующих наград. [11] [12] В 1945 году секретарь ВМС написал Iwo Jima PUC без строки «и все те, кто прикреплен или служит с». В 1949 году награда была изменена: первая награда была лишена звезды, а последующие награды получили бронзовые звезды.

Специальные застежки

УССНаутилус(SSN-571)

В ознаменование первого подводного плавания под Северным полюсом атомной подводной лодки USS  Nautilus  (SSN-571) в 1958 году всем членам ее экипажа, совершившим это плавание, было разрешено носить ленту Президентской награды со специальной застежкой в ​​виде золотой печатной буквы N. [13] Морякам ВМС США, приписанным к мемориалу USS Nautilus в Музее подводных сил в Гротоне, штат Коннектикут , разрешено носить Президентскую награду ВМС с эмблемой «N» во время службы там.

С 2014 года такой же знак отличия может быть присужден за медаль «За службу в операциях по ядерному сдерживанию» тем сотрудникам, которые работают в непосредственной поддержке операций МБР и служат 179 дней подряд, направляясь на ракетный комплекс. [14]

УССТритон(ССРН-586)

В ознаменование первого кругосветного плавания под водой атомной подводной лодки «Тритон» во время ее пробного плавания в 1960 году всем членам ее экипажа, совершившим это плавание, было разрешено носить ленту Президентской благодарности со специальной застежкой в ​​виде золотой копии земного шара. [15]

Береговая охрана

Подразделениям Береговой охраны США может быть вручена Президентская благодарность либо Военно-морского флота, либо Береговой охраны, в зависимости от того, какую службу поддерживала Береговая охрана на момент вручения благодарности.

Текущая награда известна как «Благодарность Президентского подразделения Министерства внутренней безопасности». Первоначальная Благодарность Президентского подразделения Береговой охраны была учреждена в соответствии с Указом президента 10694 (подписанным президентом Дуайтом Д. Эйзенхауэром 10 января 1957 года) и изменена Разделом 74 Указа президента 13286 (подписанным президентом Джорджем Бушем- младшим 28 февраля 2003 года) о передаче награды USCG PUC министру внутренней безопасности.

Специальная застежка

Версия награды Береговой охраны была вручена всему персоналу Береговой охраны США и вспомогательным подразделениям Береговой охраны президентом Джорджем Бушем-младшим за спасательные операции и операции по оказанию помощи в ответ на ураган Катрина с 29 августа 2005 года по 13 сентября 2005 года. Все, кто получил награду за реагирование на ураган Катрина, имеют право носить ленту Президентского подразделения Citation со специальной застежкой в ​​форме международно признанного символа урагана. [16]

Корпус уполномоченных службы общественного здравоохранения США

Президентская награда Службы общественного здравоохранения США была учреждена в 2015 году. Дизайн был окончательно утвержден Институтом геральдики армии США 17 августа 2015 года. [17] 24 сентября 2015 года президент Барак Обама вручил Президентскую награду офицерам Корпуса уполномоченных Службы общественного здравоохранения США за эпидемию Эболы 2013–2016 годов в Западной Африке и Соединенных Штатах. [18] 19 января 2021 года президент Дональд Трамп вручил награду всем офицерам Корпуса уполномоченных, служившим с 2020 по 2021 год, за их выдающееся исполнение обязанностей во время пандемии COVID-19 .
